Fine style.From the Peter Tompa Collection. Ex VAuctions 270 (29 September 2011), lot 3.The portrait on this Carthaginian bronze of Spain is of exceptional interest because of the direct parallel it offers to the portrait on silver didrachms struck by the Epirote king Pyrrhus during his campaign in southern Italy (K.
